'f brachiopods brought back by the Second Fram Expedition 

 from Jones Sound (Gaasefjord) one species, rhynchonella psittacea. Of 

 molluscs the collection of the Fram Expedition contained 54 species, viz.: 



Lamellibranchiata ... 23 



Amphineura 2 



Gastropoda 27 



Pteropoda 1 



Cephalopoda I 



Part of the mollusc material was collected off the west coast of 

 Greenland at Egedesminde, Godhavn and Upernivik as well as the winter 

 harbour of the Fram 189899 in Smith's Sound (78 45.7' Lat. N. 74 

 56.5' Long. W. of Greenwich); but the greater part was obtained from 

 the north side of Jones Sound and especially from Havnefjord (76 29.4' 

 Lat. N. 84 4' Long. W.) where the Fram wintered in 18991900, and 

 from Gaasefjord (76 48.9' Lat. N. 88 39.5' Long. W.) where the Fram 

 lay frozen in during the two winters 190001 and 1901 02. In the 

 summer of 1901 a lengthy dredging excursion was undertaken up Hell 

 Gate as far as Landsend (76 50.9' Lat. N. 89 32' Long. W.), and in the 

 summer of 1902 the north side of North Devon was investigated between 

 St. Helena (76 15.5' Lat. N. 89 16.5' Long. W.) and the entrance to 

 Cardigan Strait and Norfolk Inlet (76 21' Lat. N. 90 30' Long. W.) which 

 was the most westerly point at which zoological dredgings were under- 

 taken. For special names of localities in this work I would refer the 

 reader to the maps in Ritmester ISACHSEN'S Astronomical and geodetical 

 observations (Rep. II Norweg. Arc. Exp. in the Fram 18981902, Vol. 2 

 No. 5, 1907). 



The whole of the molluscs are shallow-water forms. Most of them 

 are from depths less than 40 meters, and 60 meters is the greatest 

 depth from which molluscs have been obtained. None of them are new 

 to science. However the following 11 species were not formerly known
